- Right click on the desktop- Select "Configure Switchable Graphics"- See if the game file is listed for example sc2.exe- Click on the box to the right of the game file until it turns red and says, "High Performance"- Select "Apply" at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, I suggest checking the box on this screen that says "Show a pop-up warning for unassigned applications." Then whenever you start a game and then exit a pop up box will ask you to configure it and you can use the steps above to change it to "High Performance" which activates the Radeon card. Good luck! - Right click on the desktop- Select "Configure Switchable Graphics"- See if the game file is listed for example sc2.exe- Click on the box to the right of the game file until it turns red and says, "High Performance"- Select "Apply" at the bottom of the screen.

Tried everything...with no success is too vague to answer. Are you getting an error, does it install properly and start playing but quit, etc... And specifically what game or games have you tried? I can look up system requirements if I now the specific game titles. Generally speaking, if a game is not working due to a graphic card, then the card is not installed properly. Go to the samsung website support and drivers page, download and install the latest graphics card driver from their site.

This thing didn't work after 2 hours of play day of installation. Having read other disparaging reviews, and because I'm getting a bit of a runaround on trying to RMA it, I'd say avoid it. Went instead with a GTX 770 and no complaints.

I returned mine. Noticed acer has proprietary drivers. Would not except updated drivers from nVidia for 3D gameplay.

No dedicated GPU support. Put in a Intel Core i7-4700MQ for 180 bucks and it games faster than my old laptop that has a GTX280M.

The games were designed with XP in mind. Maybe try running in XP compatibility mode. It seems a stretch, but also make sure you laptop is graphically powerful enough to run it, although my ancient 5 year old Win 7 box runs it perfectly fine.

The graphics cannot be upgraded. It uses the Intel HD graphics built into the CPU.

Assuming your setup is supported, display drivers are possible cause. I had some issues that were fixed by removing some drivers via device-manager and then trying some different versions of the nvidia catalyst drivers. I think I mentioned the version that worked for me in my review text. Worth a try.

I own this laptop and it was never able to run it very well. It works but there is a painfully low framerate.

I just bought this laptop and I'm having the same problem. It runs fine and suddenly freezes and nothing works. The only way out is a cold boot with a prolonged unsuccessful Windows 7 repair attempt. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

The laptop was a gift for my daughter for college, but naturally, she's installed quite a few graphics intensive games. According to her, once the game is loaded into the on-board memory, they run without a glitch. The unit is running standard use quad processors and, if I remember correctly, the unit has a separate dedicated graphics processor. Hope this helps.

I see you lost your install disk. I bought the same card and my software disk didnt work. Not a big deal. I installed my card and windows update installed the driver and software for the card for windows 7 32 bit. I am also going to give you the manufactors website of the card where you can download the driver and software also. Evga.com click support, under product information click drivers and bios, Where it says famly click Geforce 8 series, then click on OS choose your operating system, Then click Submit.

All I know is that it says Intel HD graphics 2500, and it plays LoL just fine. As far as high end gaming or video processing goes, I have no idea. Google would be a good place to look. Or if you have a question about results through a specific benchmark test, you can reply to this with the name of the program (assuming it's a free program) and I will run a test when I get home from work

This type of GPU only works for desktop computers. And most laptops parts can't be upgraded (except for RAM memory).

Send the product into Asus and they will repair it. I sent mine in, and they also found a few dead pixels and a broken card reader, so they repaired everything without asking. When returned it worked perfect!

I had the same problem actually and was never able to solve the issue. For about two weeks the driver/card worked then one day during boot up it kept freezing. I went through a trouble shooting sequence with GeForce since the driver appeared to be the problem. I even installed a different beta driver with no luck. I eventually had to uninstall the driver and send the card back. For some reason my system had compatibility issues with the GeForce driver/Chipset and I ended up buying a Gigabyte HD7770 with AMD Radeon/Catalyst Control Center Driver. This has been working very well and the only driver that worked was on the Gigabyte download center. The card was also twice the price.

I don't know. I've found the memory to be sufficient though. But I tried installing an ASUS silent 210 graphics card and it actually made the games worse! I'd buy from Amazon so you can return the memory if there is any problem. That's what I did with the graphics card.

1) Nope. I personally just downloaded the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website and it works fine. I thought it didn't at first, because the first thing I ran was Furmark to stress test it, and the second GPU wasn't working with it. However, it works fine in all my games. Runs like a champ! 2) There is a lot of CD burning software, McAfee (if you don't care for it), and a few miscellaneous things. I pretty much took off everything with the exception of a few Lenovo things (OneKey Recovery, Veriface, EasyCamera). Just go to Control Panel and uninstall them from there. Other than that, you should be fine.
